Tracy's House

About Tracy

10 Years Experience Caring For Dogs

We live in a beautiful house in the center of Los Angeles (West Hollywood) and love to share it with our four-legged friends. It's private, gated, and has a fun backyard to chase squirrels in. We currently have a resident 9-year-old dachshund / terrier mix (a rescue) named Max, who is equally fond of other dogs. Like you, we prefer to not leave him in a kennel overnight, which is how we found dogvacay in the first place!
Our days consist of long walks around the neighborhood, a trip to the dog park just up the street (with the parents permission!), playing fetch in the backyard, an occasional nap in front of the fireplace, and if time permits, a hike or farmers market visit.
We're very hands on and will give your sweet dog all the cuddles that he/she needs while you're away. (And yes, we usually cave in and let them sleep in our bed.) Also, if medication is needed to be administered, we're happy to help. If away for a while, we'll also give your pup a bath. Picture messages and texts included too!

We prefer pups that are potty-trained, have a nice temperament, and don't shed a ton.

Tracy and her family are amazing hosts! Taffy and Izzy were so happy in the photos that I received while they were with Tracy, and they were happy to see me when I picked them up but I think they wanted to stay to play with Max. I'm sure taffy and Izzy can't wait until their next vacation with Tracy and her family. Thanks guys!

Tracy and her family were awesome! Porter had the best time with them and she can't wait to go back for another stay soon. We got lots of pictures so I felt comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend to everyone!

Winny had the best time with Tracy! He came home relaxed, calm and clean. Excited to have them so close to our house and looking forward to sending Winny to their great place in a few weeks :)

Tracy is fantastic! Huntley had the best time playing with her and the other dogs during his vacay, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She gave him loads of love and attention and he cannot wait to go back. She is the BEST!

Tracy was seriously awesome! Being new to dog vacay & dog sitting in general, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Her home was welcoming & Tracy was attentive to my pups and their special needs. I genuinely felt like she cared for them like her own. I can't compliment the experience enough. Daily texts & photos of how they were doing. If you are looking for a safe oasis for you furry child - look no further.

Lou and I hit the jackpot with Tracy! Her place is amazing and super dog friendly. She sent photos and videos while I was away, making the whole process of leaving him easy and stress free. He was such a fan of her dog, Max, I don't think he was ready to come home! I know he can't wait to go back and I am so grateful to have found her...

Tracey took great care of our two pups! We were able to leave for 5 hours to see a concert and were worry free! She sent a great photo too.

I cannot say enough glowing things about Tracy and the family. They made Buster's stay something that I felt completely comfortable with. He was given lots of love and treated like a member of their family. She sent me daily texts and videos to let me know what he was up to, and I was so relieved to know that he was having a blast! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their pup. Tracy's the best!!!

Tracy and her home were amazing! We felt at ease leaving Gary in her care this past weekend and would recommend her to all our friends!

Thank you so much! This weekend was the first time I've left my dog with someone he didn't know and I felt so much better knowing he was surrounded by people and dogs and kids who could play. Because that's like his favorite trait.

AMAZING! Monte had a great time and I felt totally at ease leaving him with Tracy and her family. I had 3 other meet and greets prior to finding Tracy and I immediately knew she was the one. Without a doubt I will use her again.

Tracy was incredible! She was very friendly and ensured that our Bella was right at home. The home is open and warm with plenty of outdoor space which is great for an active dog. I would love to continue using her.

Tracy is honestly the best! She took the time to give Miko some personal attention and I loved that she didn't pack her house in as we saw with other sitters. She was really patient with my partner and my radically changing drop off time. Not only that, when it came to Miko, they were really understanding about his marking issues and general quirks. Our pup got a chance to be a part of a small pack of other mild-mannered dogs and he actually came back a little blue for a few days. Thank you so much for putting up with us!

Izzy absolutely loves spending time with Tracy and her family/friends. She gets lots of attention and love from everyone every time she goes there. :)

I would give 10 stars if possible! I feel like the dogs were treated spectacularly and the whole package (sitters, home, resident dog) couldn't have been better! So lucky to have found Tracy!!!

Tracy and her family was amazing! We needed a quick response as we had just found dogvacay and were headed out of town on the same day, and Tracy was very fast. She sent pictures of our little Ralph all weekend playing in her back yard and it really helped put my mind at ease while enjoying my vacate as well. Thanks so much and we will be using both DogVacay and Tracy again!

Tracy and Stamie were terrific hosts for Viva and I would highly recommend them. Viva felt right at home with them and they kept her happy and healthy with play, walks, hikes - and even gave her a bath. While I was away they kept me updated with pics and I felt totally at ease. I highly recommend them but please don't keep them too booked to see Viva again. :)

I'm so glad we found Tracy! She and her family took very good care of our little dachshund and gave him lots of love while we were away! She sent texts and pictures multiple times throughout our trip to let us know how he was doing, which was much appreciated. We have already booked her for a second time. Highly recommend!

Tracy was such a fantastic sitter for Tofu! She was very warm and welcoming when I arrived and made sure to ask all the right questions to put me at ease. Her home is beautiful and she even has a backyard for the dogs to frolic in. Tracy was amazing with her communication with both the booking and during Tofu's stay. I was nervous at first because Tofu tends to have terrible separation anxiety but Trac's texts and pictures quickly reassured me. Tofu had such a great time and was so settled that when I arrived she didn't even notice I was at the door! All in all, Tracy was amazing and I would definitely book with her again!

Tracy is great! She was quick to get back to us when we're were trying to find a host at the last minute. Very accommodating meeting with us the very next day. She has a great house with a backyard for our dog Parker to run around in. Highly recommended!

Excellent all the way! My puppy JR has found a friend in Max for life. Tracy sent me the loveliest photo updates and my mind was at ease knowing JR had a blast in Tracy's West Hollywood dog haven. Highly recommend!

Tracy is fantastic! Chanel our dog is elderly and Tracy took great care of her. She came home very happy and Tracy was very communicative so we were able to stay in touch the entire time...Chanel is looking forward to another vacation soon#

Leaving your dog behind for a family vacation is never easy. You want to know that they'll get the same love and care that you would give them. Tracy gives you that comfort. She is excellent with our dog Roger. In the past I had to drag Roger to wherever he was boarding. Now he is actually excited for his stay. We can leave him for a day or a week and never worry about how he'll manage without us. Far and away the best hosts for Roger we've had.
Thanks Tracy!

Just brought Lily home from her second weekend with Tracy and, once again, she loved her home away from home. Tracy was so patient with Lily's initial separation anxiety and loud crying! She gave Lily hugs and cuddles until she calmed down. Lily had lots of walks, got to play in the backyard looking for squirrels and enjoy time with a couple of other furry friends. Tracy is so nice and trustworthy; she genuinely loves dogs and cares. She texted me daily with adorable photos of Lily! I am so happy I found Tracy.

Lily just spent her first weekend at Tracy's and it was everything I hoped it would be. We had one meet & greet prior to the weekend and I felt a positive & gentle energy from Tracy, her home, her sweet, mellow dog and the safe neighborhood. As I expected, Lily had separation anxiety when I dropped her off and left. Tracy was understanding and nonplused; she sent me a text & picture that night, assuring me that Lily was settling in and getting love and cuddles. Lily had walks when she wanted and needed and got yet more attention from Tracy's friends. I got another text and picture the following day so I could see how happy and safe Lily was. When I arrived for pick-up after the weekend, Lily was cuddling on the bed with Tracy's friend. I know from Lily's comfort level that my initial instincts were correct ... Tracy is trustworthy and reliable and seemed to genuinely enjoy caring for my puppy girl! I interviewed several candidates prior to meeting Tracy and feel I really hit the jackpot! Lily had such a nice time that she is going back next weekend. Thank you Tracy!
